Chapter 1427: The Undying Gate (1/2)

After such a long session, Yujian was dazed and couldn’t regain her wits for a long time. Before she knew it, Li Qiye had opened a new door for her, an unprecedented one that would reach all the way to the grand dao.

In fact, Xiaoxiao enjoyed this preaching as well. She stood there with one hand on her chin, completely immersed and fascinated by his words. She calmed down at the same time as Yujian and ran over to tap on Li Qiye’s shoulder: “Ego King, were you an a.s.sa.s.sin in the past?”

Li Qiye laughed at this inquiry: “Who says I’m an a.s.sa.s.sin? Are you saying that one can’t understand something without experiencing it firsthand?” [1]

“Please, I don’t believe your nonsense at all.” She glared at him: “It looks like you are lying. Hmph, you must have been a big a.s.sa.s.sin before, maybe even a perverted one.”

She laughed after making this claim. It was not unreasonable for her to think this way. Even Yujian was suspecting that Li Qiye might be from the night corps or a supreme a.s.sa.s.sin that they secretly groomed.

“Your imagination is too rich.” Li Qiye saw her expression and understood what she was thinking then shook his head: “I am not an a.s.sa.s.sin secretly groomed by the G.o.dslaying Night Corps and definitely not an a.s.sa.s.sin. I am me, Li Qiye, that’s all.”

Her face turned slightly red after being read by him, but she a.s.sumed her stoic manner again right after. After being an a.s.sa.s.sin for so long, she had a hard time adapting to these feminine expressions.

He stood up and told Ye Xiaoxiao: “Alright, we’ll go to the Undying Gate.”

“Let’s go!” Xiaoxiao was ecstatic. She had been wanting to enter the Divine Tree Ridge’s inner world. Sima Yujian, on the other hand, was hesitant.

For her, there was no need to follow Li Qiye. Not to mention that he used to be her target, more importantly, the two of them didn’t know each other and he wasn’t part of the night corps. Following him would mean exposing everything about her.

After noticing the girl’s hesitation, Li Qiye turned around and flatly asked: “What now, you still think that I’m plotting against you?”

She couldn’t answer right away.

“Keep up.” Li Qiye didn’t waste time and lowered his tone.

With his serious demeanor, she felt a jolt and couldn’t help but follow him as if star-struck. Her legs wouldn’t listen to her any longer due to Li Qiye’s infinite charisma; she could only follow him.

The three ran to the Undying Gate. However, it looked like only Li Qiye and Xiaoxiao were present. In fact, Yujian was right behind them with her amazing stealth techniques from being the successor of the night corps. The weaker people simply couldn’t detect her.

They arrived at the gate very quickly. The moment it came in sight, Xiaoxiao excitedly said: “We’re here.”

Li Qiye only smiled after seeing it.

The Undying Gate was created by Immortal Emperor Bu Si, once famous and deterring for a generation, especially during his era. Despite its vast size, there were only two lineages at G.o.dhalt — the Spirit Abyss and the Undying Gate.

Today, the gate had fallen and was inferior to the abyss. However, during the emperor’s era, the gate was very prestigious while the abyss was the underdog. It was a time when experts coming to G.o.dhalt would also visit the Undying Gate to show their respect instead of just the abyss. Alas, this was no longer the case.

Anyone would be suppressed at G.o.dhalt. This in addition to old rumors about a slow cultivation speed, no one wanted to stay at this vast continent outside of the Undying Gate and the Spirit Abyss.
